POINTED PARAGRAPHS Selected The summer bathing drowning sea son has been formally uper.t.d. The school commencement is too often the end of study. Now we'll see with what a' lot of ood memories the Senate is not af flicted. Anyhow, Col. Roosevelt did not say- that he did not enjoy the juleps he did drink. Now Col. Watterson will t.aink less of Col. Roosevelt than ever. No Ken tucky gentlemen will stand forfc such disparaging references to the mint julip. The French would probably regard as murderous that Georgia duel in which each man fired six shots and neither missed inflicting a wound with each bullet. Tombstone inscriptions are generally too good to be true. It's perfectly plain that no woman ever thinks she is . More push than ambition is needed , to operate a wheelbarrow. A man's-ttins find him out eventually but his wife usually beats them to it. When starvation stares a woman in the face .she may start a boarding house.
